You shouldn't use babel with xelatex and languages with
"non-western" skripts. greek.ldf of babel switches the font encoding
for greek text to LGR. This breaks the font selection of fontspec.

gloss-english.ldf doesn't use \englishfont. Simply set your fonts
with fontspec. polyglossia will pick them up for "latin" scripts.
(Languages are not symmetric regarding fonts: For latin scripts you
need normally 3 font families (for \rmfamily, \sffamily, \ttfamily)
while greek seems to use only one.)
\documentclass [12pt] {article}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setmainfont{Times New Roman}
\setsansfont{Arial}
\setmonofont{Courier}
\newfontfamily\greekfont{Palatino Linotype}
\usepackage {polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage[variant=mono]{greek}
\setotherlanguage[variant=american]{english}
\begin {document}
abc
\selectlanguage{english}
abc \sffamily cde \ttfamily fgh
\selectlanguage{greek}
abc
\end{document}
